You aren't imagining it, for March 2nd this is really one of the worst winters in the Swiss Alps. This is daily Snow Water Equivalent (SWE) evaluated over the Swiss Alps since 1998. Will 2023 be looked back on as a statistical anomaly, or a harbinger of a new normal?@meteosuisse

First snow in Davos... and first unloading event! time for larches to get rid of unnecessary load, including their needles

If you want to see more maps like this over the winter, you can find them in the @meteoschweiz app!

What a start... this is our first new snow forecast of the season 2022/23, welcome to the winter!

Observe and analyse today to anticipate actions for tomorrow...our researcher expert in snow Francesco Avanzi @WorldOfChecco is presenting our work about the snow's amount across the Mediterranean Sea at #IGSDavos2022 @SLFDavos @igsoc @SLF_SnowHydro

Congratulations to Steven Pestana (@stevenpest) on his publication in Remote Sensing of Environment! 🎉🛰️💧🌎 You can find his manuscript here: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… And the #python tools Steven created to orthorectify GOES image produces here: github.com/spestana/goes-…

Are you interested in ecohydrological processes within snow-covered forests? Be sure to join us at the #AGU2022 Fall Meeting. One week left to submit an abstract! agu.confex.com/agu/fm22/preli…

The final blog post of the series highlighting our @INTERACT66 forest-snow field campaign in Sodankylä, Finland is out! Check it out to see how we worked with @Drones_UniOslo to measure forest structure in the northern boreal forest @FMI_Snow slf.ch/en/about-the-s…

Have you ever wondered, "How accurate are my UAV-LiDAR-derived snow depth maps in steep, forested terrain?" (we often do). If so, you'll find some interesting perspectives in Kalliopi Koutantou's recent paper sciencedirect.com/science/articl…!

Logbook #3 of our series documenting fieldwork at the @FMI_Snow Sodankylä Arctic Research Center is live! Check it out to get a view of the arctic landscape through the eyes of our thermal drone slf.ch/en/about-the-s…

Meanwhile back in Davos, M. Haugeneder and D. Reynolds have deployed a wind LiDAR for measurements over the Gaudergrat (pictured in background), and enjoyed some home-office in the field. The rest of the group returns from Sodankylä this week. #sturmfrei

Our research team has arrived at the @FMI_Snow Sodankylä Arctic Research Center for our @INTERACT66 field campaign! We are documenting our Finnish field work experience through the @SLFDavos logbook You can find our first blog entry here: slf.ch/en/about-the-s…

A Tetris problem: how to fit all the gear into one box. We are shipping to Finland / Sodankylä @FMI_Snow, for our upcoming @INTERACT66 field campaign in April 🥳

No @esa, this isn't snow on Mars. Sahara Dust rolls into the skies over Davos this afternoon, further complicating this years snow melt as warm, sunny days lay ahead in the forecast... (PC: Tobias Jonas)

If you're in Alps today, chances are that you're noticing some Snow-Atmosphere interactions on an awesome scale. In response, we've recently welcomed a new Post-Doc in our group, Mahdi Jahfari, who will be working on just that topic over the next 2 years! 🎉

Survey team B in standby, waiting for the airborne laser scan to finish before validation can commence. On such a day, snacks are as essential as a snow probe.

Poster session in the times of Covid: The Gathertown format of #SnowHydro2022 feels closer to in-person gatherings. There are also many more hats present than at normal conferences 🤔 Have we all been secretly wanting to wear them at #EGU?

Our snowfall forecast 🌨️ from yesterday and first "validation" taken outside the office. Great to see all of the snow after some fairly dry weeks

TODAY is your last change to register for #SnowHydro2022, which will take place next week in our virtual SnowHydro2022 convention center powered by gather town. That means no Zoom Doom! More details: snowhydro2022.sciencesconf.org
